Reading Binge
“…I started to read. I finished the book in one sitting, leaving the children unbathed, dogs unwalked, a husband unfed, and giving alternate cries of joy and recognition throughout.” –Jilly Cooper in her introduction to EM Delafield’s Diary of a Provincial Lady Okay, so it hasn’t been as bad as all that, but I have [...]
Utterly charming
If you are looking for a good book to chase away the winter blues, pick up this little lovely! From the back: In 1949 Helene Hanff, a “poor writer with an antiquarian taste in books”, wrote to Marks & Co Booksellers of 84 Charing Cross Rd, in search of the rare editions she was unable [...]
Well, there went January
A girl + her new guitar = love at first sight. Thanks for all of your kind messages for Roxi! She had an awesome birthday weekend. It’s weird to realize that she’s 16 and that if we were in the States, she probably would be driving. As it is, she has absolutely no desire to [...]
Sweet Sixteen
It’s hard to believe this rocker chick is going to be sixteen in a couple of days. Happy birthday, baby girl. I have a feeling this is going to be a huge year for you! xoxo
Week in Pictures 2
Roxi and I went to see Escape the Fate at the O2 Academy Islington. I am so glad we weren’t in the PIT. For Roxi, it’s all about the show and the musicians and not being part of the crowd. Roxi spent a few days at our local library taking her end of semester exams [...]

Happy (belated) 4th bloggy birthday to JaPRA!
Well, hi there and happy new year! My brain is finally back from holiday, just in time to say a big Thank You!! to all of you for your friendship during these last four years. My how time has flown! Writing this blog has been very rewarding for me in many ways, but the best [...]
We’re back!
Reliant Stadium and the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. We are back from our two week trip to Texas. As usual, we didn’t get to do everything or see everyone we wanted to… Still, it was a fun visit! It’s hard to believe it’s the end of the year, isn’t it? I probably won’t be back [...]
